Summary edit

Description Flare of Iridium 84 satellite
Date
Source Own work
Author Andrew Echols

A flare produced by a flyover of the Iridium 84 satellite on November 20, 2006 at 19:06 CST (GMT-6) seen from College Station, Texas, USA. The exposure captures 20 seconds prior to the peak of the flare and 10 seconds after. The streak is about 13.1° long, and the peak magnitude was predicted to be -2. The short horizontal streaks are produced by the motion of background stars over the 30-second exposure.
